The Fierce

Get ready for an unforgettable night with The Fierce, a high-energy indie folk-rock band rooted right here in central Indiana. Built around the longtime songwriting partnership of Sally and Lyn Fierce, the group blends rich harmonies, dynamic instrumentation, and a groovy “folkternative” sound that’s both fresh and deeply authentic. Backed by a powerhouse lineup of seasoned musicians—featuring standout vocals, driving percussion, and unique textures like mandolin and banjo—The Fierce delivers original songs that connect, uplift, and stick with you long after the show ends. With a sound that spans genres and a live performance that’s as tight as it is heartfelt, they bring a positive, crowd-engaging experience you won’t want to miss.

Fresh off five independent music awards and growing international recognition, Abbie Thomas is a genre-bending singer-songwriter known for her powerful vocals, vivid lyricism, and emotionally rich live performances. Blending soul, jazz, and blues with the warmth of 70s-era songwriting, her music feels both timeless and deeply personal—equally at home in an intimate listening room or backed by a full band. Her work has earned GRAMMY® consideration, charted internationally, and been recognized by the Josie Music Awards and Hollywood Independent Music Awards. Praised for her “ageless” vocal style, Thomas moves effortlessly between quiet, piano-driven storytelling and groove-filled, jam-forward energy alongside her backing band, The Crazy Hearts. With songs that explore love, identity, and resilience with honesty and heart, Abbie Thomas delivers a live experience that is both captivating and unforgettable.
